Before the beginning of this Major League Baseball season, the Philadelphia Phillies silently extended contracts for General Manager Matt Klentak and Team President Andy MacPhail. MacPhail signed an extension back in 2017 that runs through 2021, which went unannounced. In March, Klentak signed his extension that runs through 2022, which was kept quiet. The Phillies find themselves underachieving currently with the lineup they have but have the talking heads signed for another two and three years.
The timeframe when Matt Klentak had his contract extended makes sense. Bryce Harper just touched down in Philadelphia and Andrew McCutchen was signed.
